Insaf academies-Punjab government establishing online academy, lectures, and test
The Punjab government has announced to establish Insaf academies province-wide to meet the student's needs through online lectures and tests. The lectures will be delivered from class 9th to class 12 students on a single platform.
The provincial education minister of Punjab, Murad Raas announced the establishment of insaf academies during press conferences.
'Insaf academy is being started as a special tool for our students. Online quizzes and lectures by the best teachers starting in the coming months,' he told.
'In a first phase, lectures of Chemistry, Physics, Biology, Mathematics and Computer science will be available for class 9th free of cost. In online insaf academy, recorded lectures will be delivered to students. The students of insaf academy will be able to self access their progress through online quizzes and tests available on the academy website. In insaf academies parents will also be involved in students progress and it ll keep students safe from going out in private academies,' he further told.
The provincial education minister also told that the government is focused on promoting the English language in schools and 1000 master trainers have been hired.
Education minister also showed concerns against rising number of private tuition centres and called insaf academies a best alternative.
Earlier in February Punjab government announced establishing 100 insaf schools by the end of 2020 but the plan was stopped due to covid 19 break. According to notification insaf schools will be established in rented buildings and an amount of Rs 200 million has been approved for the project. Last year Punjab chief minister launched insaf afternoon school program for students out of morning schools.
The masses are appreciating the establishment of online insaf academies but they urge to keep the project non political. Masses suggest that political names should not be used in government related projects. Earlier Imran Khan has ordered to remove PTI flag and word 'insaf' from the 'sehat insaf card'. The name of 'insaf' can lead to undermining the project because of political havoc. Secondly, many students have liked the idea and hope to access the insaf academy free of any charges.
